# Reframe vs CTRL

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CTRL at 100% against Reframe's 62%. CTRL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Reframe's advantage is ratings volume (45K vs 4) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reframe sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and CTRL sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CTRL holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reframe has 45K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Reframe's written reviews are positive against 100% of CTRL's.
